Although big names like former U.S. president Donald Trump, WWE legend Goldberg, and radio shock jock Howard Stern count themselves among those jeering Rihanna for her gravity-defying Super Bowl Halftime Show on Sunday (February 12), the Bajan diva earned her fair share of praise from celebrities like Chris Brown, Christina Aguilera, Shaquille O’Neal, SZA, Jordin Sparks, and many others who jetted to social media to laud the 13-minute musical showcase.
Among the latter is P!nk, who has not only garnered applause in the past for her own Super Bowl showing but has also been approached by organizers to headline a halftime show.
Hot on the promo trail for her latest album, ‘Trustfall,’ the GRAMMY-winning diva took to our friends at Audacy Music to dish on the project, fall tour plans, and so much more before being quizzed on if she’ll ever bring her live show talents to the Super Bowl stage.
Look inside for her surprising answer.
After discussing her legendary career-at-large, the 43-year-old diva (born Alecia Moore) was asked if there were any ‘bucket list items’ she would like to accomplish before retirement – including headlining a Super Bowl halftime show.
“I never say never about anything, but the reasons I’m not interested in certain things are 1 – the political reasons,” she told interviewer Mike Adams at the video’s 9:15 mark before sharing, “I don’t need to do [the Super Bowl halftime show]; I did the national anthem [already].”
As it relates to the negative criticism Rihanna received for her Super Bowl extravaganza, Moore challenged detractors to do better.
“The girl is pregnant, she’s a mom, she’s awesome, [and] she worked hard; you don’t have to love the show but give her props for what she did,” she started. “I loved it, personally, I thought it was amazing. You do it. You get up there and do it. I want to see you hang on a platform that looks wildly unsteady.”
When quizzed about a hypothetical setlist, however, P!nk concluded her halftime show talk by saying her 2002 hit ‘Don’t Let Me Get Me’ is the one song she would refuse to perform if she changed her mind about accepting the gig.
“I don’t think anyone wants to hear it anyway,” she joked.

Pink doing Superbowl would be like nothing any football fan has seen..like her personality is So f****** real.. that’s my b**** and shout out to lil Wayne 2024
You didn’t purchase her new album though because it’s a flop lmaoooooooooooo 🤣
It’s not a flop though. Almost 80k without a hit song. The song didn’t even chart on the main chart. To sell like that and your sales go up without a song on the charts is excellent.
I have purchased her new album. I don’t come on here to play you do
I think it’s the money issue coz NFL is not paying artists to perform anymore💅🏾 Mary old J and Rihanna were doing this for free
Bytch watch your mouth when it comes to Mary. Mary did the damn thing. Ya mammy is old you hood rat troll! And Pink is da shyt!!!!!
Noway
They never pay anyone to do the halftime DUMB ASS
If P!nk says yes, Bet her performance would’ve been way more entertaining than that lazy pregnant Rihanna💅🏾
Noway
Yes, she is the laziest BILLIONAIRE that I have ever seen. DUMBAZZ!!!
Has sports overtaken music.

I was asking to perform in my local nursing home. I turned down the offer because my 600lbs fat ass wouldn’t let me get up and walk out my apt. I also can’t stand people staring at me, I know those old folks are too busy playing Bingo but still….
What’s wrong with “Don’t Let Me Get Me”?
I was thinking that too! I love that song.
The Britney Spears lyric
I think Pink would have done a way better job than Rihanna. Her music sucks now tho. And this excuse about her being pregnant is bogus. She has never been a good performer at ANY phase of her career. That is why it’s so shocking to see today.
She he needs a new manager a new team it’s not Rhianna fault ppl say she can’t perform
RIHANNA IS THE BEST. SHE DID THAT!!! LEGENDARY SHE IS!!!!

I think you meant to say that you were ASKED to perform. (If you were ASKING to perform, then you did not receive an offer; it would have been YOU that offered.)
Everytime I turn around Pink is talking smack about another woman. I always admired her for her strength and the hard road she took to get where she is. . I just don’t understand why it bothers her. Let it go…
No class Rihanna is my new name for her. Should of had Rosalia someone original and with class.
RIHANNA IS THE BEST. SHE DID THAT!!! LEGENDARY SHE IS!!!!
Clearly she has new music coming out be ause she has been busy publicly cry and complain about EVERYTHING. LOL.
Like they say, There is no such thing as bad publicity. 🤣😅😂
